I notice that in the past I created another #account on @frayoshi@mograph.social which I would like to move to this one.

One #problem: the other account is like 20 minutes newer than this and more over, I'm not actually "moving from" that one, but want just to redirect like if I was moving from there.. Not sure if this is the correct procedure.. I was going to delete it, but then I read that the account handle will no longer be usable and I want to keep my doors open :blob3c:

@frayoshi @frayoshi@mograph.social

Usually I'd say 'use the move feature' since that can be undone easily. But I see that mograph.social seems to be blocking qoto.org, so that won't work.

Best you can do is just put in your profile description that you're active on qoto.org.

oh... that's sad @trinsec ! I wonder why
Great advice, didn't think about it!!

@frayoshi Some instances block other instances if the other instances federate with yet other instances that would break their rules.

It doesn't make much sense because anything we would boost from the rule-breakers wouldn't reach them anyway because they get blocked.

But I see in their blocking reason references to kiwifarms and gab, but they have not been federating in the Fediverse for a while now, so it's an ancient relic from the past.

I tried @trinsec ...

I can't believe it @trinsec @freemo , got blocked by the admin of mograph.social for kindly asking to unblock #qoto, definitely a nasty place
Just sad for those people I wanted to follow that are in there, 1 in particular which is important to me

@frayoshi @trinsec @freemo - stange - the twitter-mastodon retweeter at https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/ has qoto.org on a block list too - i asked the admin why, but got no reply - very odd.

@cain_rob

use moaparty, its better and doesnt block.

@frayoshi @trinsec

@cain_rob

Seriously moa party is superior software:

@frayoshi @trinsec

@freemo @frayoshi @trinsec do you know how long it takes/how often it cross posts?

@cain_rob

It usually happens within minutes

@frayoshi @trinsec

@freemo @frayoshi @trinsec thanks. mine seem slightly delayed at the moment (cross-posted both ways approx 10 mins ago). will it continue cross-posting in the background if one 'logs out' of moa.party, or do i need to be permanently logged into it (using oauth via twitter+qoto logins)?

@cain_rob

Once you configure it to start cross posting, and then close the window, it will cross post forever... I set mine up years ago and its still going and never stopped.

@frayoshi @trinsec

@freemo @frayoshi @trinsec thanks. i clicked the 'log out' button at foot of page, (after changing a couple of configs to use the #xp ). maybe i shouldn't have done that. i'll try again later without logging out.

@freemo @frayoshi @trinsec - aha! my cross-post from twitter has just appeared on my qoto.org timeline (just awaiting the converse cross-post to appear on twitter now...)
